The Philadelphia Phillies lost the first game of their series with Miami, falling 5-1 to the Marlins. Their record drops to 21-23. It was yet another wasted effort for starter Cole Hamels, who took his seventh loss of the year. Hamels allowed just two runs over six innings, and struck out a season-high 10 batters. However [...]

Eagles quarterback Nick Foles worked out with the first team offense today at practice and Michael Vick worked out with the second team. It was another lively practice for the Birds, with the music blasting and the plays run in a hurry, but I didn’t think the offense had a particularly crisp day throwing the football. [...]

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick spoke to 97.5, and discussed his issues with ball security. “The other day, I broke out in the pocket, and the first thing Chip told me was to tuck the football,” Vick said.  “So I showed him how I was running with it, and he looked at it and he knocked the [...]

Claude Giroux, Wayne Simmonds, Matt Read and Luke Schenn were four of the marquis players from the Philadelphia Flyers that participated in the 2013 IIHF World Championship. As members of Team Canada, none of them returned home with any hardware. It was defenseman Erik Gustafsson and Team Sweden who won the gold medal today, beating Team Switzerland [...]

The retirement of a player’s jersey number should symbolize that not only were they elite at the position; but whose presence was an embodiment of the city he played for.  This individual should be reflected upon as a player who modified and advanced how the game was played.  Their contributions should inspire and educate future [...]

Lee [...]
